Game 33: #17 BYU vs #2 Houston; Friday - Big XII Tournament (W 74-54)

We aren’t machines, but our culture always catches up

Are we really saying we’re fine with Tech winning the Big 12 tournament? Or the Cougs?

Roberts is going to sit, TA may play limited minutes cause of his achilles tendon, Miller will get decent minutes. Lath may even make an appearance. Rotation will be different but Sampson and the players will be playing to win.

I feel like we are close to saying the same thing, but it’s lost in message board translation

Another ode to a welcomed team, don’t take it hard, just making some fun.

Here come the charging 3 point shooting BYU Cougs
aiming to blast the High Flying #2 Houston COOGS
the BYU Cougs have shooters galore but they will be shown as phonies
not even help from heaven, Brother Young or prayers to the Angel Moroni
will prevent them from being crushed by the all powerful Houston cronies

Block, steals, turn overs, rebounds and elite defensive stands
will turn these Provo basketball grunts into a disgruntled band
players from Russia, Mali, Australia, Senegal, Serbia and more
who the hell wants to see these students. let’s show them the door
Let’s make them beg to be released from the terror of the Houston roar.

Who cares? We won, didn’t we? As much as we have won, ppl need to stop analyzing every game. Enjoy the period and do not waste it on analyzing bcoz that time is not too far when we will not even come close to this level of winning. Then you can analyze yourself to depression.

With or without J’wan, this won’t be easy.

BYU has come a long way as a team since we first played them.

BYU won’t hit as many threes against us simply because of our defense on the outside, but we need to be better than we were against Colorado.

Sit everyone already. If another team wants to risk it all for the Big 12 tournament let em. Get home and on the couches for selection Sunday.

I think we turn the intensity level up to 11. Sampson was not happy with the effort or intensity yesterday. We will get back to playing Cougar basketball. We don’t want complacency to set in and become a habit.

When BYU shoots the three really well it’s because they are able to do “paint to great” as Young calls it. Iowa State aggressively doubles or they are really tight all the time. BYU was able to break the doubles and pass to the three point line from the paint and they make a lot of threes that way.

Houston is able to play better straight up one on one defense. I’d expect BYU to shoot around 33% against Houston.

Are you speaking for the fans or for CKS. Bc no matter how many times or how it’s asked , not happening w CKS. But it goes for good forum talk for sure.
Time for a Poll.

it’s gameday !

Losing becomes a habit…so if you are going to play, play to win. Otherwise, get the Sigma Chi intermural team in Houston uniforms and let the real players “rest”.
